Craig: I do not know of the Ritchies Auction House that YOU are talking about, BUT the Ritchies Auction of Movie Posters is in TORONTO this next Saturday and is a VERY WELL ESTABLISHED and WELL KNOWN Movie Poster Auction formerly associated with The Toronto Film Festival. Mike Orlando of The Hollywood Canteen in Toronto runs it and is a very well known and reputable dealer, known to many of the more established people in this business. Please go to www.Ritchies.com for more REAL INFORMATION about this auction before spreading rumors of no authority.
